Montreal AAA

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the MAA was one of the most important sporting institutions in Canada, and North America, with affiliated teams winning ice hockey's Stanley Cup and Canadian football's Grey Cup.

Due to problems with an aging population, the club switched from being solely member-financed during the revival of 1999.

W. R. Granger served two years as the president Montreal AAA from 1918 to 1920,[2] and hosted The Prince of Wales at the clubhouse on a royal visit in November 1919.

[3] By the end of World War I, Granger had overseen the revival of the association's ice hockey, baseball and soccer teams; and hoped to restart the lacrosse team, establish a trapshooting club, and erect a memorial for members who died serving in the war.

[5] After the 1903 season, players from the team formed the core of the Montreal Wanderers professional club, who took on the "Little Men" nickname.
